Introduction

Prototyping on old sweaters

The Emoji Embroidery Project aims to create a capability to create emoji embroideries.

So far, documentation only exists in french (in the sister wiki) It includes:

  • A database of digitized emoji, reusable for non-commercial purposes (expanding, yet to be documented): [[[:fr:Liste des emojis à broder]] ]
  • Tutorials on how to use them (to be done)
  • Tutorials on how to create your own scans from "free" emoji font designs: [[[InkStitch - broder un emoji]] ] and [[[Stitch Era - broder un emoji]] ]
  • Activities such as the fr:atelier upcycling avec des broderies émoji
  • Educational material that makes use of emoji designs, for example the [[[:fr:Cours d'initiation à la broderie numérique (FacLab UniGE)]] ] course.
  • A technical and conceptual introduction to fr:Emoji (to be refined).

Objectives:

  • To bring embroidery to a wider audience.
  • To contribute to sustainability (by showing an easy path to upcycling)
  • Contribute to digital embroidery education (emoji are relatively easy objects to digitise)
  • Spreading the idea that digital embroidery is an interesting medium to develop digital skills, making skills and some soft skills.
